Religion has to do with our after life. Politics has to do with our present life.

Iftar is a religious function of breaking fast by Muslims after the end of the holy month of Ramzan. In India it has developed more as a fashionable social occasion for some of those not belonging to Islam to celebrate it, just like diwali, a similar religion based social function. Iftar parties by these people in India have become meaningless and are hosted only to show off political strength and cajole Muslims into thinking they are cared for. Iftar parties do not indicate any mutual desire for harmony as I have not heard of any Muslim leaders inviting those of other religions to any of their own Iftar celebration. It is all one sided like Hindus singing "Iswar Allah Tere Naam.." but Muslims never singing it, recognizing the content of this prayer to God. It is time we see religion as something personal, as it is and as it should be. It should have nothing to do with politics. Religion has to do with our after life. Politics has to do with our present life.
